I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Joshua: Santa Monica tutor

Certified Tutor

I have a JD from NYU Law School and an MA in information science from the University of South Florida. I came to realize after law school that my true strengths lay in teaching and coaching rather than the corporate legal grind. Since then, I've coached high school speech and debate, and I trained census takers for the federal government while working on my master's.

I'm proficient in a variety of subjects, but I'm particularly passionate about speaking and writing. I have a background in reference and can help students navigate the academic writing process from topic to documented final draft.

I'm enthusiastic about conveying knowledge and helping people refine their skills and develop new ones. I set high expectations and provide unwavering support. I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together!
